The Lenovo S60 smartphone has been officially launched in India as the latest member of the company’s S Series lineup. The handset is a mid-range option and is on sale carrying a price tag of Rs 12999 through multiple online stores including Amazon and the OEM’s own brand store.
The Lenovo S60 can be considered as a cheaper version of the Sisley S90 which was launched back in February. The smartphone continues to flaunt the same iPhone-inspired design, but with cheaper material used for the body. What’s disappointing is that the device is a lot like the A6000 Plus handset, but costs almost double.
For Rs 7499, the 4G enabled A6000 Plus packs a 5-inch HD screen, a 1.2GHz quad core Snapdragon 410 SOC, 2GB RAM, 16GB storage and a 2300mAh battery. The new Lenovo phone has the same display, processor and RAM, but only 8GB storage and a 2150mAh battery.

What’s better in the S60 is that it has a 5MP front camera and a 13MP rear shooter. Android 4.4 KitKat runs the show and an update to Lollipop is said to be in the works. Additionally, the smartphone comes with dual SIM card slots and supports HSPA+ networks. On a single charge of the embedded batter, the phone is capable of up to 16.5 hours of talk time or 10 days of standby on 3G.
